A GATHERING PLACE FOR CIVIC LIFE
Pull up a chair.
Welcome to our home. It has lots of places to explore — and we’re still getting things organized. But we think you’ll enjoy the tour, and maybe get excited to come hang out, share ideas, get involved — and help build a better tomorrow, together.

What this is: a free, nonpartisan civic education and voter information site for the Navajo Nation. Who’s behind it: volunteers from the community — no party, no candidate, no funder, nothing to sell. Our covenant with you: we bring facts, tools, and people together — every decision stays where it belongs: with you. We never score, rank, or endorse a candidate, and every claim links to its source so you can check us.

If you're here for the election, this is the place — and the clock is running.
Primary July 21 — who’s running where you live?
All 102 candidates listed, every race, by agency and precinct — with Cal Nez interviews for 42 candidates as of July 18, 2026, issues, and side-by-side comparison. And Round 2 is on: Three have returned before the primary: Shaquille Begay, Marsha Greyeyes, and Cornelia Carm Wagoner.
November 3 — the constitution is on the ballot.
Not just candidates: a yes-or-no on the proposed constitution — how the Nation governs itself, decided by the people. Start with the constitution question (what a yes does, what a no keeps, the strongest case both ways), then go side by side, area by area — current law vs. the draft, with room to mark your own read on each. Registration for that ballot is open until September 24 at 5:00 pm. How to vote & register →
More than an election
The election is only the beginning — this Civic Center is built to keep going long after the votes are counted, with plain-language lessons, missions, and community findings year-round. The whole story →
And if you want to feel why this site exists, in about ninety seconds, take the challenge.
A challenge: find one law. We’ll wait.
Before you judge any candidate — try this. Using the Nation’s own official websites, find the current campaign-finance rules for this election. Real links, three steps, about 90 seconds. We could not complete it, and we have not found anyone who has — the index asks you for the answer as the search term. When you see why, you’ll understand this entire website. Take the challenge →
The promises, ranked by you — pick your top 3 (tap to open)
Ideas heard across the candidate interviews — no names attached, ever. Anonymous; combined counts publish on Community Findings, dated. We rank ideas, never people.
Where to start
Want the whole why? Our story — including the Ethics & Rules interview: a former director of the Nation’s ethics office explaining, on the record, how oversight works and where it stalls.
